Trial summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best dose of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of the Use of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) to Treat Prostate and Pelvic Nodes in Patients With Prostate Cancer - Pelvic IMRT for Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best dose of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To test the feasibility of delivering hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the prostate and pelvic nodes of patients with prostate cancer.
  • To determine the optimal dose level of this treatment regimen to be used in future studies.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to small bowel total volume (low small bowel volume < 450 cc vs high small bowel volume ≥ 450 cc).

Patients undergo hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the prostate and pelvis for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Late RTOG radiotherapy toxicity as assessed at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and then annually thereafter

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall survival

  2. Local control

  3. PSA control

  4. Acute side effects as assessed weekly by the RTOG scoring system

  5. Quality of life

  6. Patterns of recurrence

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing hypofractionated radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Late RTOG radiotherapy toxicity as assessed at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and then annually thereafter. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00946543, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2013.
